Volunteers sought for Black Rock project this weekend

Friends of Nevada Wilderness, a nonprofit organization, and the Bureau of Land Management seek volunteers this weekend to remove old barbed-wire fence from public lands in the North Black Rock Range Wilderness about four hours north of Reno.

Volunteers have been working to remove obsolete fencing in the area for several years now. For the past two years, snow has prevented volunteers from getting to the site to complete the job. This year, snow isn't a problem and the fence can be removed.
